IGNATZ GONYK,

NIGHT Application filed March 21, 1928, Serial No.

The present invention relates to a night lamp of the kind having a frame made of sheet metal from which some parts are punched and bent up to carry the lamp chimney and others bent down to embrace the wick support, the said frame being adapted to be mounted on any container or vessel of oil for instance on a bottle, a glass or the like.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a constructional form of a lamp of the kind above referred to which allows lamp chimneys of different size to be put on the same lamp frame; moreover the said construction renders it possible to arrange the lamp always at or near the center of the oil container if containers of different diameter are used.

Furthermore the lamp may be fitted with a carburettor cap for the purpose of obtaining a more efl icient lighting with a reduced consumption of oil, said carburettor cap being adapted to be put on the lamp frame and held by tongues made by punching from the same piece of sheet metal from which the frame is bent.

A lamp of the kind referred to is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings wherein:

Fig. 1 is a plan View of the punched sheetmetal strip from which the frame of the lamp is formed by bending.

Fig. 2 is a front view of the right end of this strip when bent together.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the punched sheetmetal strip from which are bent the spring tongues for holding the lamp on the vessel.

Fig. 4 shows the frame and Fig. 5 shows the spring tongues with the small wick feed wheel for adjusting the wick and its axle, which hereinafter is called the wick raiser stem.

Fig. 6 shows the wick tube with the small wick feed wheel for adjusting the same and the wick raiser stem in a front view.

Fig. 7 shows the wick tube in a side view and Fig. 8 the sheet metal strip from which the wick tube is bent.

LAMP.

a side view and in two plan views with the fixing spring tongues adjusted in different positions.

Figs. 12 to 1 1 show a modification of the lamp for the use with a carburettor cap. Fig. 12 is the punched sheet metal strip of the lamp frame formed with additional tongues for supporting the cap.

Fig. 13 shows the lamp made of the strip in a side view when assembled without oil so container with the cap put on the frame and Fig. 14 the carburettor cap in a sectional view.

The piece of sheet metal, from which the frame is bent (see Fig. 1) shows an approxis5 mately circular chimney support 1, with'a hole 19 at its center and four jagged prongs 2, which are bent downward and serve for clamping the frame to the support 3 (Fig. 9) of the wick tube 12, furthermore a tongue 5 is cut out from a projecting part 4, bent up vertically together with said projecting part and constituting in cooperation with the same a clamp for the lamp chimne 6; at the opposite side there is an arm 7 tted with 7 guiding flanges 8 for the strip 9 of the clamplng means which slide between said flanges, the clamping means itself consisting of a projecting part 10 and a tongue 11 cut out from it and bent so as to form a crooked hook.

The wick tube 12 is bent from a sheet metal strip (Fig. 8) from the longitudinal edges of which lugs 13 project, which serve after the bending is completed as a housing for the small wick feed wheel 14, which is arranged between them. To this end one lug is furnished with a bore 15, whereas the other lug is provided with a slot 16 for passing through or putting in the wick raiser stem 17. By the described form of the projecting lugs one is enabled easily to mount the wick raiser stem together with the small wick feed wheel 14. The clamping means 9, 10, 11 are also fitted with a bore 18 for the wick raiser stem to be passed through.

Owing to the fact, that the chimney 6 is held by the clamp 4, 5 only in a single place of its surface, it is possible to employ lamp chimneys of a different diameter with the same lamp and as it is possible to slide the 100 clamping means 9, 10, 11 to a varying extent within the ledges 8 one is enabled in any case to arrange the lamp approximately at the center of the container, even if it is to be mounted on containers having openings of different diameter.

If a carburettor cap is employed the sheet from which the lamp frame is bent is formed with additional tongues 20 which will stand upwards after bending to engage with corresponding tongues 22 of the carburettor cap 21 punched and stamped from a circular metal sheet and holes 23 arranged around the cap and a larger opening 24 at its top for the incoming air supply and for the outcoming flame, respectively.

Fig. 1B shows the lam when assembled with the carburettor cap 21 Within the lamp chimney put 'on the lamp frame.

lVhat I'claim is 1. A lamp frame consisting of a-strip of sheet metal having a disk portion formed with peripheral prongs, for securing said portionto-a support, said strip having an end portion extending above the disk portion and formed with "a longitudinally extending tongue co operating' with said end portion constituting a clamp for the chimney of the lamp.

2. A'blank -for "forming a lamp fram'e'co-nsisting of a strip of sheet metal having oppositely projectingend portions, one end portion being slotted to form a longitudinally extending tongue, the other end portion having longitudinallyextehding'side flanges.

3. A blank for "forming a lamp frame consisting of "a strip of sheet metal having a central circularipor'tion formed with peripheral prongs and oppositely projecting integral end portions, one end portion having longitudinally parallel slots-therein forming a'tongue, the otherend'portion'havin'g overturned flanges'on its "sides.

'4. A lamp frame formed ofa strip of sheet metal having a central circular portion formed with peripheral prongs bent below said circnlar'p'ortiom'said strip portion having integral oppositely projecting end portions, one of said end portions being bent upwardly at right-angles to said central portion and having a central longitudinally extending tongue,-the other end portion extending in the plane of the central portion and having overturned flanges on its opposite ed es.

5. A'lamp-frame formed of a strip of sheet metal having a central circular portion formed with peripheral prongs bent below said'circular portion, said strip portion having integral oppositely projecting end portions one of said end portions being bent upwardly at right angles to said central portion and having a'central longitudinally extending tongue, the other end portion extending in theplane of the central portion and having overturned flanges on its edges, a clamp for said frame slidably mounted between said flanges and having a downwardly extending clamping portion formed thereon.

6. A lamp frame formed of a strip of sheet metal having a central circular portion formed with peripheral prongs bent below said circular portion, said strip portion having integral oppositely projecting end portions, one of said end portions being bent upwardly at right-angles to said central portion and having a central longitudinally extending tongue, the other end portion extending in the plane of the central portion and having overturned flanges on its opposite edges, a clamp member formed of a single strip of sheet metal slidably mounted on said flanged projection and having a downwardly extending portion formed with a clamping tongue out from the latter.

7. A lamp frame comprising a strip of sheet metal having a central circular portion formed with peripheral prongs bent below said portion and a plurality of peripheral prongs extending above the latter, said strip having oppositely projecting end portions, one of said portions extending perpendicular to and above said circular portion and having a central longitudinally extending tongue, the other end portion extending in the plane of said circular portion and having overturned flanges on its opposite edges, a sheet metal carburettor cap mounted on and connected to the circular portion by the upwardly extending prongs on the latter, and a clamping member slidably mounted on said flanged projection.

8. A lamp frame comprising a strip of sheet metal having a central circular portion formed with peripheral prongs extending above and below the latter, said strip having portions on opposite sides thereof, one of said side portions extending above the circular portion and having a central longitudinally extending tongue, the other side portion extending in the plane of said circular portion and having guide flanges formed thereon, a sheet metal clamping member slidably mounted between said flanges, and a wick raiser stem journaled in said clamping member.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name.
